Question
which of the following determines a regions climate?
temperature and precipitation
air pressure and temperature
temperature and prevailing winds
prevailing winds and relative humidity
Climate is defined as the long - term average of weather conditions in a region. Temperature and precipitation are the two main factors that are used to classify and describe a region's climate. For example, a tropical rainforest climate is characterized by high temperatures and high precipitation throughout the year. Air pressure, prevailing winds, and relative humidity are factors that influence weather (short - term atmospheric conditions) rather than the long - term climate. While air pressure can affect wind patterns (which in turn can influence precipitation to some extent), and relative humidity is related to moisture in the air (which is part of precipitation), the fundamental and most commonly used determinants of a region's climate classification are temperature and precipitation.
